Episode notes
Trade War Fails To Deliver Real Wins
- Trump's trade war has largely failed to secure new market access and left most tariffs in place, worsening prices for farmers and consumers.
- The China soybean announcement mostly restores past purchase levels rather than delivering a genuine breakthrough.
Republicans Break On Tariffs
- Bipartisan Senate defections show Trump's tariffs are becoming a political liability for Republicans.
- Rising grocery prices and weak approval on inflation are forcing some GOP senators to oppose tariffs on Brazil and Canada.
SNAP Funds Withheld As Political Pressure
- The Trump administration is blocking a $5.5 billion emergency SNAP fund, risking food for 42 million Americans during the shutdown.
- DOJ argued in court against releasing those funds, framing withholding benefits as a shutdown pressure tactic.
